Objectives: Dietary interventions are a potentially powerful treatment option for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The objective of this study was to evaluate a well-formulated ketogenic diet (KD) in the context of knee OA histology and pain using the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) mouse model and correlate with gut microbiome and systemic cytokine levels.
Methods: Adult male mice underwent unilateral DMM or sham surgery and were then fed eight weeks of KD or chow.

: Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity requires a multidimensional, patient-centered approach including nutritional interventions (NIs) and physical activity. Changes in the gut microbiota (GM) have been linked to obesity and the metabolic alterations typical of T2DM and obesity, and they are strongly influenced by diet. However, few studies have evaluated the effects on the GM of a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in patients with T2DM, especially in the mid-term and long-term.

The disease's trajectory of Alzheimer disease (AD) is associated with and negatively correlated to hippocampal hyperexcitability. Here, we show that during the asymptomatic stage in a knockin (KI) mouse model of Alzheimer disease (APP; APPKI), hippocampal hyperactivity occurs at the synaptic compartment, propagates to the soma, and is manifesting at low frequencies of stimulation. We show that this aberrant excitability is associated with a deficient adenosine tone, an inhibitory neuromodulator, driven by reduced levels of CD39/73 enzymes, responsible for the extracellular ATP-to-adenosine conversion.

Background: Although little is yet known about the long-term maintenance of very low-energy ketogenic therapy (VLEKT) effects on body composition, muscle strength and inflammation, it is plausible to assume that changes may occur, particularly during the steps following the ketogenic step, due to the loss of the protective effects of ketones and the concomitant reintroduction of carbohydrates. For this reason, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementation with 8 g per day of essential amino acids (EAAs) on these parameters.
Methods: A total of 68 women of reproductive age and with grade I obesity who had completed 45 days of the ketogenic phase with VLEKT (KeNuT protocol) and 40 days of non-ketogenic phase of KeNuT protocol with VLEKT (phase 3, fruit reintroduction) were included in the study.

Background: Diet therapies for epilepsy, including the ketogenic diets (KDs), have been used as a treatment for both pediatric and adult populations. Recent studies have focused on the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of various diet therapies for epilepsy. The objective of this scoping meta- review was to evaluate the evidence regarding different ketogenic diets for epilepsy.
